Brother if possible look for 6jj in kabli.
Your current rims are bolted inward and the edges are outward hence rubbing so get that one which are towards inside.
Now is the time as your rims are new and hardly use so you may change them without any loss.
I don't remember the offset readings but search on the net you will know.
Or other members might help you.

What tyres' brand is it?
As 185/60/15 is not a common size or you may say not in great demand, there is a limited choice of brands available in the local market.
Whenever I made an inquiry about the available choices, I got the following in reply
a. Brigdestone Turanza (used)
b. Mirage MR-162 (Chinese)
...wondering what you have got?

I also got a chinese brand HILO tires. But the rubber is really soft with fresh date of manufacture.

Brother its not possible to change rims now. Got these rims & tires from pesh & now I am back to my hometown which is almost 525 kms away from pesh.
So I have to live with them. The rims have 32 offset. Yes you are right, the edges are outwards bcz they are concave rims.
And all the kabli rims I saw in market are old-fashioned. So I only had 2 options. First chinese rims & second these imported light weight rims.

Now my mechanic is suggesting me to get 0.5 or 0.75 inch spacers in the back to avoid this rubbing issue. I have no idea, what to do now ?

This is an old picture before getting alloys & tires. Front & rear complete suspension replacement under process

Posting this pic just to give you guys an idea about the exterior condition

[399.ak]

Well I am not in favor of spacers too bad for car.

[humayun.chughtai.7]

Another suggestion was to get harder/stiffer springs.

[Hassan1991]

Spacers sa to tyre or bahir aa jaien gy.

[humayun.chughtai.7]

phr kya karain ?

[Hassan1991]

Bhai roll the archers. Your sure they are rubbing the archers?

[humayun.chughtai.7]

I think there is a misunderstanding here ...
I am talking about lift spacers also known as aluminium wali packing, with the help of which we can get more clearance between tire & fender/arches.

[Hassan1991]

Gii bhai.
I prefer rubber packing on the springs before the upper shock mount rather then aluminium spacers.

[Hassan1991]

Recently installed 195/55R15 on friends car ce100. Rims are bought from same source.
Cars is having 2 way adjustable coilovers.
This is the original fender not rolled and adjusted.

This is rolled and adjusted.
Both are front.

[humayun.chughtai.7]

I ended up putting 0.5 inch aluminium packing in the back & got rid of tire rubbing issue. The car is as smooth as it was before the packing.
P.s. rubber packing was not available is my area. So the only option was aluminium. But still I am happy with the ride now

[Hassan1991]

Mechanics are not used to these kind of things that's why they prefer spacers.
Great then enjoy your ride

[humayun.chughtai.7]

Here is the difference between jdm rear springs (right side) & pkdm rear springs (left side). Got this pic from @shoaib657 bhai ... So the permanent solution is to replace springs with pkdm one.

[shoaib657]

Hahaha

One thing i forgot to mention those are 8jj wheels.

[chbilalnasar]

Better use jdm with packing.pkdm(basically thay are not pkdm yeah desi hain jo mechanics na cng cars ka liye rakhay huay hain)causes stiff ride..springs are hard.if u are driving without passengers you feel car bouncing from rear.

[shoaib657]

if u are driving without passengers you feel car bouncing from rear.

Absolutely right
